American Red Cross Teaches the Importance of Prepardeness

On December 19, 2007 the Senior Tenants & Landlords Reconciliation Project hosted the American Red Cross in Greater New York who showed Seniors how to be prepared in the case of an emergency. They explained what to do in the case of a building fire, how to prepare an emergency bag in the case of an evacuation and the importance of making an evacuation plan for your family and neighbors.
